Add Flickr Zimlet

[spacegoose]

How do I deploy Zimlets in Zimbra Desktop?
I cannot find the zmzimletctl command, and adding them (the .zip file) to the top level zimlets or webapps/zimlets directories, and restarting zimbra doesn't seem to work either.

Thanks,
sg

There's no zimlet deployment in the first version. Flickr zimlet will be included in zdesktop though. Thanks!

Any idea how to get it working with Zimbra Desktop build 1251?

[jjzhuang]

we don't yet have a consumer friendly way to add/remove zimlets. that's planned but not yet implemented.

there is a way to do this from command line, but only for experienced users who have access to zimlet zip files.

And for the experienced users, what are those commands ?

Follow the following steps:

1. save zimlet zips into <install>/zimlets

2. cd into <install> from terminal

3. run the following line for each zimlet:

java -cp jetty/lib/log4j-1.2.8.jar:jetty/common/lib/commons-httpclient-3.0.jar:jetty/common/lib/mail.jar:jetty/common/lib/commons-logging.jar:jetty/common/lib/commons-codec-1.3.jar:jetty/common/lib/json.jar:jetty/common/lib/dom4j-1.5.jar:jetty/common/lib/zimbracommon.jar:jetty/webapps/service/WEB-INF/lib/zimbrastore.jar -Dzimbra.config=conf/localconfig.xml com.zimbra.cs.zimlet.ZimletUtil deploy zimlets/<zimlet_name>.zip

4. restart zdesktop backend server

where <install> is the folder where you installed zdesktop. The above assumes you are on Mac or Linux. If you are on windows, you'll need to fix the path by replacing '/' with '\' and ':' with ';'.

Actually, the flickr zimlet currently doesn't work with Zimbra Desktop. sorry

I would like to use the com_zimbra_emailreminder zimlet in ZD - trying to follow the instructions above but it is not working (windows system).
ZD being RC1 - is there a new command or way to do this?
Look forward to a reply as this will benefit quite a few users!
Regards,
Sean.

are you sure your install dir is c:\zimbra\zdesktop? that's an old default. the new default location is under Documents and Settings.
